The American Dietetic Association thinks you should be able to use any kind of non-calorie sweetener in any amount , at any time of the day so that you can increase the pleasure in your food without increasing the calories. I don't agree. It is best to avoid all no-calorie sweeteners, because they communicate to the receptors on you taste buds and numb them out. This skews taste so that the true full signal at future meals in now distorted and thus more calories are eaten. Lets point out that the ADA receives large amount of funding from fast-food agribusiness. Moderation not deprivation in the key. By using no-calorie sugars you have become a pawn in the game of profits at the expense of your health. Anything that controlls your brain makes you an addict and it becomes very had to be normal again. If you continue to ingest sweet tasting food in inappropriate amounts between meals your going to gain weight and be hungry all the time.

Say What? It Is All About Choosing Life The easy choice will be a radiant high-octane life full of bursts of energy, the ability to loose weight painlessly and the addition of ten years to you life. Americans Love To Hear Good Things About Bad Habits. I was at a restaurant recently and looked at the menu with astonishment. The Pasta Primavera was marked with a big red star that told me that it was “Low Carb.” How could it be? The massive plate was totally pasta topped with vegetables. Just deception ala-cart. I have seen low carb bread. Of course, it was totally carbs. It's what people want. Diet books are the hottest thing on the market. This is just samples of the current state of nutritional awareness.

Americans Spend 42 Minutes A Day Cooking And 8 Cleaning Up Consider some recent research on the links between cooking and dietary health. A 2003study by a group of Harvard economists led by David Cutler found that the rise of food preparation outside the home could explain most of the increase in obesity in America. Mass production has driven down the cost of many foods, not only in terms of price but also in the amount of time required to obtain them. The French fry did not become the most popular “vegetable” in America until industry relieved us of the considerable effort needed to prepare French fries ourselves. Similarly, the mass production of cream-filled cakes, fried chicken wings and taquitos, exotically flavored chips or cheesy puffs of refined flour, has transformed all these hard-to-make-at-home foods into the sort of everyday fare you can pick up at the gas station on a whim and for less than a dollar. The fact that we no longer have to plan or even wait to enjoy these items, as we would if we were making them ourselves, makes us that much more likely to indulge impulsively.

Cutler and his colleagues demonstrate that as the “time cost” of food preparation has fallen, calorie consumption has gone up, particularly the consumption of junk food. They found that when we don’t have to cook meals, we eat more of them: as the amount of time Americans spend cooking has dropped by about half, the number of meals Americans eat in a day has climbed; since 1977, we’ve added approximately half a meal to our daily intake. Cutler and his colleagues also surveyed cooking patterns across several cultures and found that obesity rates are inversely correlated with the amount of time spent on food preparation.

The more time a nation devotes to food preparation at home, the lower its rate of obesity. In fact, the amount of time spent cooking predicts obesity rates more reliably than female participation in the labor force or income. Other research supports the idea that cooking is a better predictor of a healthful diet than social class: a 1992 study in The Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that poor women who routinely cooked were more likely to eat a more healthful diet than well-to-do women who did not.

So cooking matters — a lot. Which when you think about it, should come as no surprise. When we let corporations do the cooking, they’re bound to go heavy on sugar, fat and salt; these are three tastes we’re hard-wired to like, which happen to be dirt cheap to add and do a good job masking the shortcomings of processed food. And if you make special-occasion foods cheap and easy enough to eat every day, we will eat them every day. The time and work involved in cooking, as well as the delay in gratification built into the process, served as an important check on our appetite. Now that check is gone, and we’re struggling to deal with the consequences.

These are only some of the benefits of the liquid light vegetables and fruits. They all can be yours. The price? Simply changing your diet. It’s never been so straightforward and easy. Just replace animal food with fruit and vegetables. It is easy to achieve profound benefits within the week.

Principle #1Nutrition is a combination of real food. The whole is greaterthan the sum of its parts (quantum physics 2 + 2 = 16)

Principle #2Vitamins supplements don’t work. People that want to continue eating their customary foods and pop a few pills will not get better. Consumers have been duped by multi-billion dollar industry.

Principle #3Plants provide nutrients better than animal nutrients. Plants have dramatically more antioxidants, fiber, and mineralsthan animal food. Animal food, on the other hand has much more cholesterol and fat.

Principle #4 Genes do not determine disease on their own. Genes function only by being activated or expressed, nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good, and bad, are expressed.

Much of the hype on genes is for the fear factor. Genes are never fully expressed all at one time. Much of the time they are biochemically dormant and they do not effect your health. They don’t do anything. Dozens of studies have shown that as people migrate to a new country they assume the disease risk of the new country to which they do not change their genes.

Principles #5Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of chemicals. Nutrition primarily determines whether the disease will do it’s damage.

Principle #6 The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages can stop the disease in its later stages. Nutrition is your hope.

Principle #7Drugs and Surgery don’t cure the diseases that kill most AmericansSo many people believe that nothing can be done, this translates into the fatalistic notion that once you’re sick – it is over. Many studies show that cancer can be initiated into animals, with liquid light fruits and vegetables the cancer can be slowed, halted, and even reversed. Raw Liquid Light diets reverse advanced heart disease, Raw liquid Light diets help obese people reverse diabetesAn ounce of prevention does a pound of cure. Don’t give up.

Principle #8 Change takes strategizing -- you don’t fall into it by chance.Many people attempt to transform dietary habits that are health robbing. They fail for three reasonsNever start, just all talk.Jump in over their heads (all or nothing mentality)Successfully start and then old unwanted behaviors re-emerge.

Those that successfully adopted and maintained a new healthy eating lifestyle usually did so in stages over a period of time. They did so with gradual increments, rather than all at one. They start by developing a taste for new food combinations. They work at preparing and enjoying food that is more nutritious - they make it a habit. Progression in gradual increments is the key for establishing new routines. People who make too many changes too fast, greatly decreases the changes of being able to maintain them. The more committed and specific you are about what actions you are going to take, the more likely you will be to take them.

Have A Specific Plan And Follow It

You must have a plan and follow it, a plan that is specific to your personal needs. There is no one size fits all. What fits your life? You must devise a plan that will work for you and then modify as you go along.

Was Grandpa A Crazy Old Geezer?There is mental dysfunction that is serious. This is called dementia and there are two kinds: vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. Vascular is caused by multiple little strokes resulting from broken blood vessels in the brain. It is common for elderly people to have silent stokes in their later years. They are silent because they go undiagnosed. The other is Alzheimer’s it occurs when a protein substance called beta-amyloid accumulates in critical areas of the brain this plaque is cholesterol laden. This is associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adult onset Type 2 diabetes. These entire diseases cluster in the same population often times in the same people. Hypertension is a factor along with high blood cholesterol.

Genetics plays a role, but environmental factors play a key role and most probably the dominant one. Alzheimer’s rates are low in areas where fruits and vegetables are eaten. Western American diets have the most Alzheimer’s. Clearly, diet has an important voice in determining how well we think in our later years. What exactly are your going to do about it? Both can be corrected with diet. Antioxidant can shield our brains from this damage as in other diseases. Animal based breakfast, lunches, and dinners lack antioxidant shields and tend to increase free radical production and cause damage. Raw Liquid Light Smoothies are abundant in antioxidant and veggies is your easy answer.

Steak and Fries Upped Alzheimer’s 3.3 TimesScientists conducted mental exams, assessed food intake for 2 years, and found that the people who consumed the most fat and saturated fat had the highest dementia due to vascular problems. The risk of getting the disease of Alzheimer’s was 3.3 times greater among people had high animal intakes. Smoothies decrease animal intake.

Do You Sunbath in the Winter?Radical Revision Of The Sun The sun is not deadly. The leading vitamin D scientists in the world have started that traditional medicine was dead wrong when it comes to sun avoidance. (of course most of the studies were paid for over the years by companies that mad sun tan lotion and bug sprays) An itty bit of your Vitamin D does come from food, but most comes from a few hours a week we spend in the sun. The Vitamin D that we get in our skin travels to the liver where it is converted by enzymes and stored. This Vitamin D will last about 24 days. The next step is crucial. When you need some Vitamin D, enzymes convert the stored D to an active supercharged Vit. D. This new D is 1000 times more active and powerful than the storage stage vitamin D, but its only super duper for about six to eight hours.

Certain Disease Are More Common Without Sunshine FACT -- Countries in the northern hemisphere have more Type 1 Diabetes, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Breast and Prostrate Cancer and Cancer in general.

MS is 100 times more prevalent in the north than at the equator. Similarly in Australia, the farther south you go, the more disease there is. Around the world, the farther one gets from the equator, and the sun, the more likely you are to find people with high blood pressure and heart disease. Lack of exposure to ultraviolet light actually contributes to the rise of these diseases in higher latitudes.

Have You Overlooked This Vitamin? 85% of Americans are deficient walking around with the symptoms of Rickets. 8 out of every 10 folks reading this book need to respond to this fact. It is simply not enough if you work indoors to walk to your car. Even folks who live in Colorado or Arizona have dangerously LOW blood levels of Vit. D.

THIS FACT REQUIRES ACTION ON YOUR PART!

Receptors that respond to Vitamin D have been found in almost every type of human cell, from your brain to your bones. Researchers keep finding health benefits from vitamin D in virtually every area of your body. Sure, long-term excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer. However, moderate sun exposure is less dangerous than sporadic sun exposure. Sun exposure without sunburn significantly decreases the risk of melanoma. Safe sun exposure is the key. Assignment #5 Go outside and noontime and sit for 13 minutes with minimal clothes.

Why Can’t You Just Buy Vitamin D? You must be aware of each player in the orchestra when it comes to the sunshine vitamin. The parathyroid makes the enzyme that goes to the liver to make the super D. There are other enzymes that help make the super D along the way. Without each player in the band, the finished product would not happen. Buying one synthetic component made in a lab will not make it all come together.

Scientist say that following the ridiculous recommendations to avoiding the sun has caused a minimum of 20,000 extra cancers per year, and it is far more likely the number actually exceeds 50,000. This just includes the deaths. It does not include heart disease or autoimmune diseases like MS or rheumatoid arthritis. First, it’s important to realize that vitamin D is not “just a vitamin,” but it has potent multiple effects on the body, it repairs and maintenances to your body. Each cell in your body has its own DNA library that contains information needed to deal with virtually every kind of problem it might encounter. Vitamin D opens the door for you body to all that information.

The major biologic function of Vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralization in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones. It is the same old quantum thinking. 2 + 2 = 14. Without Vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults -- a disease that result in defects that weaken bones.

It Is All About Fear The TV and newspapers shout it out, it’s all about fear. Don’t get me started, but everybody wants you unable to make a decision for yourself. It is about the economy, or the bird flu. They don’t want you to think for yourself. It’s absolutely tragic that dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers have done such a thorough job of scaring people out of the sun – again their answer to this problem -- makes them money. Don't buy into their fears -- you don't need their products.

48 Hours Before the Sun Reaches Your Bloodstream? If you thought as I did that the sunshine goes right into your body, you would be wrong. New evidence shows it takes up to 48 hours. Therefore, if you shower with soap, you will simply wash off some of the sunshine. Therefore, to optimize your D3 levels you need to delay washing. I can hear all you stinky folks out there gasping. What about B.O.? Not many folks live in caves like hermits. You only need to use soap underneath your arms and your groin area. You will just want to avoid soaping up the larger areas of your body that were exposed to the sun.

There are two primary forms of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. UVA and UVB. UVA has a frequency of 320 to 400 nanometers, and this causes you to tan. UVB is the good guy and its wavelengths are from 280 to 320. (A wavelength is the distance a wave has to travel before it starts repeating itself, and a nanometer is a millionth of a meter.) Because UVA is longer, it penetrates the skin and materials like window glass. When it goes into the skin, it causes free radical damage. UVA is quite constant during all the hours of daylight and though out the entire year. (That is why you can burn on a cloudy day.) By comparison, UVB waves (the good kind) are low in the morning, evening, and high at midday and can be filtered out by window glass. Take your sunbathing outside, sitting in a sunny window will not work.

Good UVB’s Cancel The Bad UVA’s Malignant melanoma has been increasing at an exponential rate in indoor workers since before 1940. The reason is indoor exposure to UVA radiation. Unlike UVB, which is blocked by glass, UVA can pass though windows. UVA can cause cancerous mutations. To much sun or sunburn can break down the good Vitamin D formed in your skin after outdoor UVB exposure. Vitamin D from UVB are important defenses against melanoma when you have an equal amount of UVB to UVA.

3 Ways To Get Vit. A.The best way is sunshineRegular use of a safe healthy tanning UVB bedFood high in Vit AVitamin pill -- Natural sunlight cannot be over accumulated and is never toxic. I'm just for the real thing.

The recommendation for Vit A is from 1000 to 5000 IU of Vitamin D daily. Vit A can become toxic. Why, because you store Vitamin D and don’t turn it into Super D until you need it. Oral supplements of Vitamin D can take six months or longer to normalize. When outside you get both UVA and UVB together. To obtain this amount from milk one would need to consume 50 glasses. With a multi-vitamin, you would need more than 10 tablets. Neither is advisable. Supplements become ineffective when eaten with calcium, or protein.

Shedding Light On Best Sun Food Sources Food source are very limited and that is why I am stressing to you the need to be outside.

Holly How Much Sun – Be Exact? Glad you asked. The key point here is to optimize your vitamin D intake by subjecting a large portion of you body to13 minutes of safe outdoor noon sun exposure, being careful not to get sunburned. You need this about 3 times a week. If you know exactly how much sun, it takes for you to turn your skin pink, then one-fourth of this time will be needed for you to spend in the sun, about 2 to 3 times a week. This is about 5,000 IU.

Who Needs More Sun Than Most?Overweight folks Pregnant ladies this is very criticalElderly Cavemen who never go outside – their skin has lost the ability to generate Vit. DDarker skinned folks have higher melanin and this blocks UVB

Sunscreen Blocks Your Body Production Of Vit D In fact, sunscreens reduce vitamin D production by 99%. This has health consequences especially if your only out in the sun once in a great while. BAM More lies to sell products

Expose The Sunscreen Smokescreen Sunscreens are toxic because they contain ocytl methozycinnamate. OMC will kill mouse cells even at low doses. OMC is found in 90% of the brands. Another toxic chemical used is butyl -ethoxydibenzoylmethane. These chemicals are quickly absorbed through out the biggest organ the skin and circulated by the blood stream. Dioxybenzone and oxybensone are the most powerful free radical generator known to man. Two more products that are xenoestrogens to watch out for are sodium laurel sulfate (a thickener) and parabens (harsh chemical preservative.) CA-CHING Don’t buy it and save $.

Cardiovascular studies have found that 13 minutes, 3 times a week in the sun will improve cardiovascular fitness scores by 19%. Many studies show that D increases the size and number of Type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers. It has also been show to increase musculoskeletal performance in older individuals. Vitamin D will make you faster, stronger, and will improve your balance and timing. In order to understand how Vitamin D affects athletic performance you need to remember that Vitamin D is not really a vitamin but rather a steroid in the same way that testosterone is a steroid.

HomeworkPlan how can you get 13 minutes of sun during lunchSet a goal on the numbers this week you can get some sun.

Prostrate cancer certainly a genetic component, but what environmental factors do you think are important? You guessed it. Plant based enzymes rich, high frequency fruits, and vegetables. Animal products give bad results. A Harvard study reviewed 23other prostrate studies – the results – Men with the most intake of dairy had a four-fold increase risk in prostrate cancer. Those with the least dairy and the most fruits and vegetables had the least cancer. Eat your smoothies and have a great sex life.

Skip Liquid Calories Starbucks has really done a disservice to folks, did you know that the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccinno Blended Creme is 580 calories. Even the Caffe Mocho is 300 calories without whipped cream and with it is almost 400. Most people are drinking these concoctions every day, sometimes several times a day. There's nothing wrong with black coffee, it has only 10 calories per cup. Even that nonfat venti-sized iced vanilla latte will cost you 240 calories, mostly in milk and sugar.

Here's a weight- loss and diabetes tip: Instead of a fancy coffee order a venti iced coffee with sugar free vanilla syrup, than add a small amount of milk (2 Tab.) Total calorie count ? A mere 20 calories -- for the same taste sensation. The problem lies in the cream, whole milk, whipped cream, caramel sauce and what ever else they dream up to add. Ditto with the smoothies from places like Jamba Juice. Most of these drinks start with canned non-enzyme sugar juices and they are 400 to 500 calories more than my home made liquid light smoothies

Agonizing pain is the first thought, when you mention kidney stones. These stones have crystallized points all over them that cut and snag as it tries to pass down the thin little tube (ureter.) Don’t expect an aspirin to stop your pain. 15% of Americans, mostly men experience these stones that involve calcium and ovalate. Dr. Ronertson of Medical Research council of Leeds has published over 100 papers in the last 30 years on the relationship of food and the stones. Animal products are the culprit. Affluent countries have four to six times the stones. Research shows that simply by shifting the diet away from animal protein the problem is resolved. When the kidney is under high amount of protein or calcium the stones form. Switching from bacon, eggs, and hash brown potatoes fried in butter breakfast to a Raw Liquid Light swirling mass of potential will keep yourself out of your local E.R. Another good trick is to never eat calcium products like ice cream or just plain cream with coffee or tea caffeine (Ice tea included.) The processes little cups of cream at your restaurant table you don't have to worry about -- they don't contain real milk.

Breast Cancer releases FEAR --- smoothies zap free radical damage Research shows less than 3% of cancer can be attributed to family history. I bet you never heard that before? The cancer industry doen't want that little itty bitty number out there........... The vast majority is attributed to genetic fatalism in the women and the national mindset. Medical clinics make tons of money off their Mamo machines. Our x-ray mamo machine paid for the whole department. Doctors encouraging the yearly mamo and made sure every woman came in at least once a year. Ca-Ching $$$ it easy money, and that is what it is all about – not your health. If the TV reminds you that it is Buddy boob check time – it is all about fear and $$$$. Excitement over the BRCA – 1 and 2 genes is just more about fear and $$$. 1 in 500, or 0.2% actually carry the breast cancer gene. Having the gene doesn’t guarantee you will get cancer. A recent paper review 42 studies on the BRCA and found the in BRAC-1 only 65% who had the gene (that 1person in 500) got breast cancer and 39% ovarian cancer. Those with the BRAC #2, only 45% got breast cancer and 11% got ovarian cancer. What is 11% of one equal? One in 5000, women are affected, but your local doctor wants you to rush right out and spend big bucks on this test, that will help keep their lab department busy.

Breast Cancer is centered on the exposure to estrogen. Diet plays a major role in that exposure. This suggests that breast cancer is preventable. The sad truth is most are not aware of this evidence. Why doesn’t the medical field recognize the nutritional origin and then correct it. Breast Cancer is big business. Suggesting diet changes doesn’t’ make the drug companies any money. Looking for new wonder drugs keeps hundreds of people employed. How about a 10K run for fruits and vegetables? BAM The truth will set your free from FEAR of cancer.

THE HEART NEVER GETS CANCER??. Cancer cells lie dormant in a ph of 7.4 but as the body gets alkalized higher and the ph level reaches 8.4 these malignant cells die off. So the answer to cancer lies in an extremely alkaline diet. With the right consumption leading to a high alkaline body ph the cancer cells cannot live in that environment and die off. The next question is can cancer be prevented and cured by consuming a diet with less acid and more alkaline.

How does an alkaline diet prevent cancer?Such a diet leads to a high alkaline body ph. This high alkaline body ph results in alkaline tissues in the body. Alkaline tissues hold 20 times more oxygen than acidic tissues. Cancer cannot live in an oxygenated atmosphere. If the cells are oxygen rich they will prevent cancer. Therefore while an acidic tissue will be an ideal ground for cancer to develop as well as spread, an alkaline tissue will destroy a cancer cell. Having a lot of green vegetables and fruits along with alkaline water can save you from cancer. To give your body the best alkaline/acidic balance requires one to eat foods that are highly alkalizing while avoiding the acidifying foods. Increasing the vegetables in your smoothies alkalizing your body.

If the body has lots of toxins and eat a diet of meat, carbs and sugar it becomes acidic quickly. As the body gets acidic the immune system gets overpowered and the cell looses its capacity to take in oxygen. Cancer cells being anaerobic cannot live in oxygen. They can only thrive in very low oxygen conditions. When the ph of the body is maintained by consuming an alkaline diet the immune system of the body stays strong. This leads to the cells getting enough oxygen and discarding their toxin waste. Cancer will neither thrive nor take birth under such circumstances. Yea for veggies !!!

HomeworkWrite down your plan on how you will resturcture you eating as to stay healthy and cancer free.

The latest study published in Health Affairs revealed that the United States now ranks 49th for male and female life expectancy worldwide, a ranking that has fallen sharply from fifth place in 1950. At the same time that life expectancy has been declining at faster rates than many other industrialized nations, per capita health spending has been on the rise. Specifically, U.S. per capita health spending rose at nearly twice the rate of other developed countries between 1970 and 2002, which means the U.S. spends more than twice the amount on health care as other developed nations. American medical care is the most expensive in the world, and what do we get for this "price?"

Is Academic Medicine For Sale?

Drug companies don't do real health research. The only type of research that is funded and recognized is investigation into drugs. The AMA says that the only thing that heals is drugs (so if acupuncture, herbs, or nutrition healed you it just didn’t happen.) Do you believe that all the pink breast cancer people are looking for a way to heal Cancer? They are not looking for the cure to the disease. They are looking for chemicals that their company can produce that will make them millions -- that will cure it. So when you give them your hard earned $$$ it is only to put drugs money in their pocket.

Science journals are merely little more than marketing vehicles for the drug companies. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The public - from infants to the elderly - MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach. Research on the cause of disease and non-drug interventions simply doesn’t occur in medical educational settings. The medcial journals primary income comes from the advertisements of drugs, of course. When I have tried to talk to doctors about nutrition they say to me, “Get serious about medicine, that diet stuff is granola hippy quack stuff.” One doc told me it was witchcraft.

Dr’s Egos Are Enormous

“I’ve had one doctor ask, “Do you think you can heal heart disease with Swiss chard and broccoli?” They know they personally, can’t fix the problem so they become very defensive. The real facts are they are making a fortune doing heart surgeries and they don’t want me to take that away. Most hospitals make 80% of their money off heart patients. It is far easier to document and quantify procedures for reimbursement than it is to document and quantify lifestyle changes that prevent the need for such procedures in the first place.

Dr Favaloro said, "there is an unreasonable gap between the medical enthusiasm devoted to acute interventions and the meager efforts currently devoted to secondary prevention." There will always be a situation in which a patient with unstable coranry artery disease will require urgent bypass or intervention, but I am convinced that imporved nutrition , we can spare a growing majority of patients from procedures that don't last. Dr. John Cook of Stanford Univeristy says " Angioplasties hardly ever save lives, and do nothing to cure heart disease. In my opinion it is far better and well within our abilty to restore health by the dietary approach. Angioplasty should be reserved for emergency situation only."

17 Years Behind Dr. Bill First, U.S. Senate Majority leader recently lamented "It takes an average of 17 years for doctors to adopt widley the finding of basic research." What he was saying is that the average doc hasn't got the latest info. This information in the book is not being used at any doc's office. His practice has not cought up with science. He is too busy to read tons of research papers, his only source of daily constant persisitant input is the drug representatives who's job it is to sell him on the newest and latest way for their company to make money.

Google -- Fix Diabetes in 30 days....... it's being done...The good news is that although this disease accounts for almost half of the annual death toll in the western nations from all causes, it is, in most cases, curable, permanently, quickly, economically, completely and often easily and by natural means. This means little or no reliance upon synthetic designer drugs and no ineffective medical treatments for symptoms, while causal agents remain untreated.

The bad news is that the orthodox medical community cannot afford to cure this disease. It forms a financial backbone to the entire orthodox medical establishment. Should an effective cure be popularized, the resulting financial impact to the medical business, the drug business, several of our tax free foundations and a large part of our food processing industry would be severe. Many hospitals would close and many doctors, notably heart surgeons, would soon need to find another line of work. Many drug companies and a large part of the food industry would have to either shut down or greatly change their way of doing business. I had a doc make a cliants of mine named Trish repeat after him -- " I am a diabetic, I'm going to be a diabetic all my life and I'm going to have to take insulin forever." Trish never went on insulin and today lives a normal diabetic free life.

Dr’s are Demonstrating Dramatic Heart Disease Reversal They are removing carbs and and increasing fruits and vegetables. Cardiologisst who follow this have peer-reviewed data prove that heart disease may be arrested and reversed though changes in diet and lifestyle. 4 billion of this world's 5 billion people eat less meat, and more vegetables and fruit. This diet is the standard fare for the rest of the world where they don't have our chronic ailments. You have a clear choice. You can use drugs and have invasive surgery that will do nothing to cure heart disease OR you can arrest and reverse the disease and improve your life by changing your diet. Do you want another option? Do you want to arrest and reverse your disease?

If three servings lowers Your risk by 22%, the benefits can add up fast to 100%. 2060 people between 65 to 90 were studied for the effects of animal VS vegetable diets on cognifive performance and strokes. What was found was that plant based, high frequency, live food was optimal for brain function. All partisipants had better short term memory. Low levels of Vitamin C were linked to poor cognitive performance on written tests. Research concluded that for every three additional servings of fruits and vegetables a day, the risk of stroke would be reduced by 22%. Three servings is less than you think. This study used ½-cup peaches, ¼-cup tomato sauce, and ½ cup of broccoli or one potato. Half a cup is not much food. The men in this study who consumed the most fruits and vegetables consumed as many as nineteen servings a day. If every three servings lowers Your risk by 22%, the benefits can add up fast to 100%. (J. Nutr. 111 (1981):553-562.)

How Can You Have The Same Results? It is return to Rule #1.......It is not rocket science – it is easy -- Decrease the animal and refined carb products in your life and start drinking liquid light smoothies.

Medicine Is Hooked On Drugs Many of the doctors I worked for got free meals, free entertainment, free travel, and free airline tickets. The drugs companies have conferences in lovely places such as Cozamel or Hawaii. The company pays for everything and the conference speakers are little more than sales reps for the drug company. Nevertheless, the doctors’s have a great week’s vacation and pay nothing or write everything off as training expenses. The companies don’t forget the doctor’s wives either; there are plenty of free gifts and vouchers for shopping. I have umbrellas, coffee mugs, note pads, tons of stuff with the drug company's name on it that my doc had too much of.

Big Medicine – Who’s Health Do You Think They Are Promoting? Most of the confusion about nutrition that has been created is legal, done in a fully disclosed way by unsuspecting, well-intentioned people. The most damaging aspect is that they put their spin on the little bit of truth that is real. A little truth makes it sound like the whole thing is the truth. The industry has spent millions of dollars making sure you can’t perceive it. That’s what we call advertising. CA-CHING Scams, tricks and outright lies are as old as snake oil.

Lycopene Heals CancerYou have probably heard of it. It is true and has been reported that people who eat tomatoes have a lower risk of prostrate cancer. Industry zeroes in on the lycopene found in tomatoes, not the fact that tomatoes healed cancer. The media needing hot juicy info. climbs on board and proclaims the great news everywhere. Suddenly it escalates and everyone knows that lycopene stops prostrate cancer 100%. Google reports more than 1361 scientific publications on lycopene and cancer and 876,000 articles that talk about it in general. BUT -- Quietly information has started to come out disproving all the hype.

Here is the spin. Study after study shows that real live red tomatoes with lycopene do decrease prostrate cancer, but there is some doubt that the isolate chemical of lycopene will do the same ?? There are thousands of chemicals in a tomato. Science just can't prove that the isolated lycopene will do what a tomato can do for you. However, the lycopene business is up and running full throttle. Vitamin companies will stage hundreds of studies and word their conclusion very deceptively to their advantage. Tons of advertising will say that they have proved beyond a doubt that their product will decrease cancer? The big problem is that your body recognizes the tomatoe as healthy. It is matabolized as good. The synthetic lycopene molecule that is made in a lab is not recognized by the body and it is matabolized as a toxic strange molecule.

Who has more Vit C? one orange or 1 cup of broccoli? Would it surprise you to know that there are many fruits and vegetables that have way more Vit C, than an orange? One cup of strawberries, pepper, broccoli, and peas have much more. Ningxia berries have three times as much. Papaya’s has four times as much. Don’t get tricked into thinking that the vitamin department is the health section at your store. It is NOT. The best nutrition is found in the fruits and vegetables or produce section.

Acute Medicine Is The Place For Doctors Having a serious car accident or trauma requires a doctor, but for cases of cancer, arthritis, allergies, or any other degenerative disease you need to refocus your cell health. Conventional Medicine Doesn’t Have A Clue. Prove it? You say, I’m glad you asked. Has conventional medicine cured Diabetes?

There are estimated seventeen to twenty million diabetics in the USA, being one eighth of our population. Spending $132 billion on medical care and lost wages yearly, many loose eyesight, have heart complications, kidney disease, and amputations. 95% of these diabetics are Type 2, with 80% of them being hugely obese. 1% of Americans had diabetes a century ago according to the Center for Disease Control. Bertrand E Lowenstein M.D. reported in his book "Diabetes."

Who Have The Most Complications? The death rate from diabetes among doctors was reported to be 35% higher than that of the general population. Robert Young, in the book "The PH Miracle for Diabetes" reported that docs have the worst consequences from being diabetics. He says the doctors follow their own treatment programs more strictly. So What Does This Say? SIMPLIFYING COMPLICATIONS IS THE FIRST ESSENTIAL OF SUCCESS --Now does it make sense if you have a problem with carbohydrates – to eat processed carbohydrates?

The Third Grade Answer When a doctor tells his patient to continue to eat the problem, we think he his God. (Most folks like to hear they don’t have to make any changes) Would any diabetic be willing to try a small experiment like not eating any processed white carbs for a week, to find the solution. No bread, noodles, rice, potatoes, pasta, cookies, cakes, sugar processed desserts, bananas or grapes. (Be sure and have your doc. watch your blood sugar levels and adjust your insulin accordingly) In most people, it usually only takes about four days, the insulin requirement drops, and the panaceas moves toward functioning better. Robert Young and many other clinics in the United States are putting this simple thought into practice and have found amazing. His book “The PH Miracle for Diabetics” is worth reading – guaranteed to lower any Diabetics insulin requirement.

You will become an intellectual threat to your doc..........It is something, more than just money. It may be an intellectual threat that the patient should be in control, and not the doctor; that something as simple as food could be more powerful than all the knowledge of pills and high–tech procedures; it may be the lack of nutritional education in medical school; who knows. The bottom line is that the medical industry is not protecting anybody’s health but their own. Nobody is looking out for you, but you. A fool and his money and his health are soon parted.

The smoothie has less calories, and cholesterol.The Fat Myth For years the American Heart Association. (1996) and the American Diabetes Association (since 1997) have been pushing a low fat diet? They said if you don't eat fat you won't gain weight. There is only one problem, science didn't support these recommendation and time proved it wrong. Over the last 30 years Americans have followed their doc's advice and the obesity rate has tripled. Fat consumption is down by 42%, and yet American's are growing fatter. For the first time in history the human species expectancy is declining, so that children of this generation will live sicker and die younger than their parents. Americans tried to fix their hunger feelings with white flour, white rice, pasta, potatoes and sugar. These types of carbohydrates raised insulin levels which in turn promoted weight gain. The American Heart Association's own statistics show that between 1979 and 1996 medical procedures for heart disease increased from 1/2 million to 5.4 million. Heart disease did not decrease with the low fat diet either. Thank you, doctors for all your help.All Fats Are NOT Created Equal The most dangerous fats are called "trans fats" they are man made and resemble the molecule of plastic. These are found when margarine and shortening are produced and are just plain toxic. They block your metabolism, give you no energy, create weight gain and increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, ten fold. The commerical baking industry loves them because they make carb products that will not spoil or mold. They remain stable in landfills for generations after generation. A twenty year on going trial on Twinkies has found that they will not mold or rot. Personally, I have a package of individually wrapped cheese slices that are 10 years old. They have not molded and don't look a spec different than the day they were bought at the grocery store.

Drug companies would have you believe that the "bad" or LDL (low density lipotrotein) cholesterol is the single biggest factor in the development of heart disease. But the truth is that the determining factor is the ratio of your total cholesterol to you "good" or HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol. There is an easy way to remember this cholesterol thing LDL is for lousy cholesterol, HDL is the happy cholesterol. The truth is that ratio between your total cholesterol and your HDL is almost entirely determined by the type and amount of carbohydrates you eat and not by the amount of fat you consume.

Why Haven’t You Heard About All This Before? When I talk science to people, I often hear “If that is true why doesn’t the media tell us that?” or “Why do I hear just the opposite?” These are great questions. The answers are a crucial part of the cover-up. Much is governed by the golden rule. Those who have the gold make all the rules. There are powerful, influential and enormously wealthy industries that stand to loose a huge amount of cash if you change how you eat. Their financial health depends on you spending your dollar with them. The U.S. spent $250 billion last year on heart disease. It paid for cardiac drugs, for clot dissolving medication, for costly mechanical techniques that bypass clogged arteries and widen them with balloons, tiny rotating knives, laser, and stents. All these carried with them serious complication , including death. BUT, they do nothing at all to cure the underlying disease or to prevent it from development into other diseases. I believe the medical profession has taken the wrong course. The doc's are watching millions of people fall of the cliff while they should be teaching us how to avoid the chasm entirely. I believe heart disease and diabetes are preventable, their progress can be stopped, and their insidious effect reverse. Are you at the end of the cliff? Do you grasp the implication of what I have told you.You have hope! Jeff's total blood cholesterol count to just 89 mg/dL and cut his LDL or bad cholesterol from 98 Mg/dL to 38 mg/dL.

Fat Chance!! Some fats actually are good for you, and even help you loose weight. I would even go so far as to say some fats are healthy and some are lethal. Bad fats turn off you fat burning genes and make you fat. Good fats bind with the same PRAR receptors and increase your metabolism, help you burn the fat and you more insulin sensitive. Flax seed oil and coconut oil actually bind with the receptors and improve insulin sensitivity, while trans fats, and Omega 6 fats found in french fries have the exact opposite effect, blocking your metabolism and slowing down your bodies ability to utilise it's food. The type of fat you consume is way more important than the amount of fat you eat. Your brain is made up of 60% fat, including a special saturated fat called lauric acid which is an omega-3 fat. These fats are also found in our cell membranes and are used as preferred sources of energy by the heart. This same fat helps the immune system by killing viruses and bad yeasts. Lauric acid, is found in raw coconuts, coconut milk, coconut oil, palm fruit oil and macdamia nuts and oils. These fats help sharpen your short term memory --could you use some help in that department -- or can't you remember?

Eating Fats does NOT raise you cholesterol

20 years of physician telling you to eat low fat food and take your pills -- will not change the above science fact. Eating fat doesn't make you fat. All non-biased science based information proves that eating polyunsaturated fats DOES NOT make you fat nor does it raise your cholesterol. (All information from the drugs companies that make satin drugs that lower your cholesterol will tell you that fat is bad) All cholesterol is formed by eating saturated fat plus sugars and/or refined carbohydrates. Feedlot raised beef contains 500% more saturated fat than grass-fed beef. There are many reasons for choosing to eat cleaner forms of animal protein, which as reduced intake of pesticides, hormones (to make the cow meat more fat) and antibiotics (to keep them healthy in small filthy feedlots.) (If you live in northern Colorado I have many farm folks who grow healthy cows and can give you there names and numbers -- their meat is no more expensive than feed lot regular cows.)

The Greenland Inuit population has been studied for years, extensively because they have eaten 70% of their diet as fat. They eat polar bear fat, seal fat, Arctic whale fat, walrus fat and other easy to find food on the North Pole. They eat very few carbs and some veggie and fruit. Thousands of them remain thin and healthy, remaining free of heart disease, obesity and diabetes, why? All these food contain predominantly omego-3 fats and monounsaturated fats and their diet contains very few carbs. Years of History don't lie............

The latest study published in Health Affairs revealed that the United States now ranks 49th for male and female life expectancy worldwide, a ranking that has fallen sharply from fifth place in 1950. At the same time that life expectancy has been declining at faster rates than many other industrialized nations, per capita health spending has been on the rise. Specifically, U.S. per capita health spending rose at nearly twice the rate of other developed countries between 1970 and 2002, which means the U.S. spends more than twice the amount on health care as other developed nations. American medical care is the most expensive in the world, and what do we get for this "price?"

Ever wondered where Canola oil comes from?

Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil fromsunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on the label to enlightenme, which I thought odd. So, I did some investigating on the Internet. There areplenty of official Canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all itslow-fat health benefits.

Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola. Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words "Canada" and "oil". Canola is a genetically engineered plant developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.

According to AgriAlternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used toproduce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals".(This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canolaindustry.)

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent.The garden guy says that undiluted it will kill the aphids on my roses. It suffocates them. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant,fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages inmagazines.

It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causesemphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, andblindness in animals and humans. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds inEngland and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the"Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered incase of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containingmaterial from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie".

It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the humanchain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed,Since then there have been no reports of "Mad Cow"

The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead.

Except canola means "Canadian oil"; and the plant is still a rape plant, albeitgenetically modified. The new name provides perfect cover for commercialinterests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients list on labels.Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil. You'll find it in analarming number of processed foods. There's more, but to conclude: rape oil wasthe source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned afterblistering the lungs and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civiliansduring W.W.I. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during theGulf War.

Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada ismainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA. Studies with lab animals weredisastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, andthyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the depositsdissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humanswere made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA.

Check products for ingredients. If the label says, "may contain the following"and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because it is the cheapestoil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to industries involved in foodprocessing.

I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using coconut oiland old-fashioned butter, NOT genetically unmodified cow.

HomeworkTime to go to the kitchen and toss out all the bad fats. (no more crisco, canola oil or corn oil)Next time your at the store buy extra virgin Coconut oil. Then when you have a recipe for butter or margarine do the switch.We fry taco's in coconut oil and nobody has every said my these taste tropical.

Don’t Drink Your MilkAmerican as Apple Pie, milk is considered red white and blue for bones and teeth. The Dairy Industry has spent years indoctrinating the American public that we have to have milk. Is this a factual science truth? Unfortunately, this is misinformation paid for extensively by Milk’s advertising campaign. About 1940 the Meat and Dairy Association started by teaching elementary school children the four basic food groups and making the food pyramid to sell their products.

Did it work at your house?

Americans drink more milk that any population in the world. If milk and meat give us strong bones we should have the strongest bones in the would. Right? Wrong we have the highest rate of hip fracture in the world. Hip Fractures are a direct indication of osteoporosis.

Cows Need To Gain 300 Pounds The First Year - Do You?Cow milk is perfect for the cow, but do we want to grow that much each year of life? Elephant milk, wolf milk, tiger milk and human milk all have marked differences in the content of fat, protein, sugar, and minerals. The composition is consistently different for each animal, and after a very short period of time, the baby stops drinking the milk. Humans are the only species that continue to drink milk after birth.

Human Milk = Blood Minus The Red Blood CellsIn the mothers tummy the baby gets it’s nutrition from the umbilical cord blood and later from the mother’s milk. At birth, the baby has no gastric acid in his tummy, to digest food. At about eighteen months, the eye teeth start to come down through the gums, and Junior’s GI system begins to flow with gastric acid. Once the gastric acid is flowing, even mother’s breast milk will curdle in the tummy, and milk is no longer the perfect food.

Harvard Nurses Study on 78,000 Woman Showed that Milk was healthy or unhealthy ?What do you think it showed? Milk was Good or Bad?

The Harvard study showed that those who drank cow’s milk were more likely to have osteoporosis and brittle bones. American woman drink 30 times as much milk as New Guinean women, yet suffer 47 times as many broken hips. Dr. Campbell head of the nutritional research at Cornell and the China Project for the U.S. Federal Government reported that osteoporosis tends to occur in countries where calcium intake is the highest and most of it comes from protein rich dairy products. His Chinese data indicated that people need Raw Liquid Light vegetable plant source calcium and not animal source calcium. It is not surprising that there is no osteoporosis and broken hips in China.”

Animal Source Calcium Won’t Help Our BonesOur bodies can’t assimilate inorganic sources of calcium such as rocks and mineral. Calcium fortified foods and most calcium supplements cone from rock and mineral. This calcium can’t be used and so the body deposits it around the joints, and in the blood vessels and in the kidney and gallbladder. It is this calcium that causes arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney and gallbladder stones and bone spurs.

Second, when milk is pasteurized it not longer has the benefits it did in the raw form and becomes gluey and mucus forming. Most people don’t have the enzymes necessary to digest the cows milk. Cow’s do – we don’t.

There are many other things that render this calcium useless in the body and cause it not to be absorbed. These things are salt, caffeine, refined sugar, carbonation, aluminum, nicotine, antibiotics and Vitamin A supplements.

Calcium From Vegetables Make Stronger BonesAll raw liquid light green vegetables are high in calcium and have an absorption rate of calcium of over 50% compared to cow milk calcium that is about 32%. Chocolate milk has no absorbed calcium at all -- it’s a total loss for your money.

You Absorb 32% Of The Calcium From MilkCows don’t have problems with broken hips. 1 cup of Milk has 194 mgs. calcium, BUT only 32% can be absorbed by YOU.........Into your body YOU get a grand total of 60 mgs. You drank 194 mg of calcium but you only absorbed 60 mgs.

32% Of the Calcium from Cow’s Milk is Absorbed - OnlyYou absorb 50% Of The Calcium From VegetablesBok Choy you get 523mgTurnip Greens you absorb 460mg Collard Greens you absorb 279mgKale you absorb 227mg1 cup cooked or raw spinach you absorb 129mg1 cup Broccoli you absorb 91mg1 baked sweet potato you absorb 89mgOne Cucumber you absorb 54mg 1-cup raw cabbage you absorb 52mg1-cup green beans cooked you will absorb 50mg1 cup of beets cooked you will absorb 44mg1 cup of cauliflower you will absorb 44 mgs.1 cup of raw broccoli you will absorb 43 mgs.1 cup of carrots provides 16 mgs of calciumI bet you never thought of broccoli has a high calcium food?

Why Do You Drink Milk?

Did you know Milk has toxic chemicals added to it?Another huge reason for not drinking your milk is that to keep a mother cow’s milk producing, a dairy man must shoot up their cows with tons of growth hormones, steroids, and estrogen. Many receive antibiotics because they are in close confined fenced corrals standing in poop.

Pasteurization Kills Enzymes, the fake Vitamins, and Minerals are added.

What exactly is low fat pasteurization milk? It is milk that has been cooked and then all the good stuff is squeezed right out of it. The diary men add back refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup and a bunch of synthetic vitamins and minerals. No enzymes are added back. Your normal digestion uses Lactase for assimilation of lactose, galactase is utilization of galactose and phosphatase for the use of calcium. Pasteurization literally kills these precious enzymes that make milk easier to digest. As old humans, our pancreas is not able to produce these enzymes, or may be over stressed leading to poor health. Why do it to yourself with Milk?

Low Fat Is Dead Of All NutrientsMany times, we drink low fat or skim milk, without the butterfat. Without the fat, your body can’t absorb or utilize any of the vitamins or mineral in the fluid part of the milk. The butter part of the milk is also the best source of Vitamin A. Again a total loss for your money.

FDA Approved Bovine Growth HormoneThis chemical hormone increases insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) and survives the pasteurization, ending up in your bloodstream and into the bodies’ cells. In the cow, the Bovine hormone frequently causes breast infections leading to antibiotics being administered.

Cows milk is the number one allergic food in this country. It has been well documented as a cause of of diarrhea, cramps bloating, gas, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne. Why not drink calcium in the form of vegetables in Raw Liquid Light smoothies?

Is Cutting out the Cow -- Out Of The question?The question is not -- is it right or is it morally wrong?It is what is best for your future the future of your kids? Considering the information you now know – what is the action that will get you the highest level of health.BAM Cutting out the COW makes room for more veggies and more healthy proteins like cashews, almonds and walnuts.

Live Milks In A NutshellUnlike cow, nut beverages contain no saturated fat, cholesterol, or lactose. However, wait, there’s more. Consider the almond; he is full of protein a great source of calcium copper, fiber, vitamin k, iron, magnesium manganese vitamin E, and zinc.

Allow The Kids To Make Their Own Milk. For presoaking the nuts (almond, hazelnuts, brazil, or cashew) in water when you go to bed at night. In the morning rinse and recover with fresh water. When you go to use the nut drain and rinse the nut one more time. Nut milk is super easy to make. Put one part nuts to four parts water into the blender and wiz them on high until the nuts are completely broken down. Add 1 T. ground flax seed and 1 t. lecithin granules. Next, pour the milk though a piece of cheesecloth or a big tea fine strainer. You may enjoy adding 1-teaspoon vanilla or orange extract to your milk. For many of my raw smoothies I just leave the pulp right in the blender. Almonds are the only nuts that are known to alkalize the blood. It is high in arginine, an amino acid that boosts the immune system and inhibits tumor growth.

Sweet Crème Fraiche1 ½ c soaked cashews1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons lemon juicepinch of salt3 Tablespoons + 1 t agave½ c water Begin to pulse slowly and then turn up the speed. This will look just like whipped cream when your done, but will taste better and be full of calcium and enzymes.

Tory Long's best whipped cream everTory had us over for dinner and dessert one night, not long ago and served the bestwarm brownies and they had the thickest lactose free whipped cream ever. Here is her recipes1can of Thai brand coconut milk refigerated overnight (the other brands containemulsifiers that keep the water and the solid coconut from seperating.) Keeping it cold is to help you seperate the solid from the liquid. Pour off the liquid and use it for a smoothie the next morning.Scoop out the solid coconut at the bottem of the can and whizz it in the blender with a pinch of stevia. This makes up into enough whipped cream for six people.

Good-quality Mangoes will yield slightly to gentle pressure when ripe. The coloring will be deep red and/or rich yellow with only a blush of green at the most. If you’re in a hurry, you can ripen a mango in a sealed plastic bag with ripe bananas on top of the refrigerator.

Here is an easy way to cut up a mango. The pit of the mango goes the entire length and width of the fruit, and it is very skinny. With the peel on, make two cuts, dividing the mango into thirds. You will have the right third, the middle third that has the seed, and the left third. Cut the majority of the meat away from the pit, by sliding the knife right along the flat side of the seed. Toss the seed. Then score the cut side of the pulp with a knife in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through the skin. Now simply push the fruit from the skin, turning the fruit inside out.

Revered not only for their exotic sweetness and for juicy quality, mangoes are known for their many health blessings. They contain an enzyme similar to papain in papayas, a soothing digestive aid. Mango’s proteolysis enzymes break down proteins, and are effective meat tenderizers. Mangos from India are used as blood builders. Because of their high iron content, and are often suggested for treatment of anemia.

Don’t Get Sick America That is the cry throughout this book. If our diseases don’t kill us, the hospital, the antibiotic resistant infections, or the hospital charges $$$ will. Folks you have got to switch over to survival mode. Let’s take charge of our lives. Smoky the Bear doesn’t have to be out there putting out forest fires, you do. Let’s just choose to stop the runaway chronic killer diseases that are all caused by poor diet. You know what Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Now the Ball is in you Court, You have tried one of the smoothies ?Are you still eating the sweet, carb breakfasts?

Berries are rich in polyshenol which are powerful fights against risk of cardiovascular disease and high in phytonutients. A recent study documented that participants who consumed a couple servings of berries each day for two months, had a favorable changes in platelet function and a decrease in blood pressure. They had a 5.2 percent increase in levels of HDL cholesterol. The non-berry eaters had a rise in their HDL of 0.6 % in HDL on the exact same diet.

Among numerous health myths, I want to talk about eggs. The American Heart Association has said for years that eating eggs will cause heart and blood pressure problems. I had a very skinny gentleman who was a principal of a school who went without eggs for four years. In an extreme effort to follow the doc's heart diet, he didn’t eat any desserts or pasta products. His LDL got worse. Then he cut out meat except for an occasional fish. Every time he came in for blood work, his LDL and triglycerides would get higher. The drugs didn't work to keep it down either. He would eat less and less eggs and meat and more carb food. The doctors would up his medication, but never deal with the under lying problems. Sorry to say he died of mis-information and heart problems. If you are an “O” blood type, you will need protein along with the Raw Liquid Light Smoothie (or by noon, you will be starved.) There are many possibilities for protein. The base could be Whey or Hemp protein powders,chia seeds, nuts, or eggs. If you are blood type B and A or AB you will not need as much protein -- your energy doesn't come from protein. All my smoothie recipes are individually made so that they fit you...........so experiment and find out what works and what doesn't....

Real Research Says Eggs Are Good For You Research NOT bought by pharmaceutical industry money says:1. Eggs benefit the heart by increasing fat soluble vitamins2. Eggs have NO effect on the bad Cholesterol (LDL)3. Eggs increase total and good cholesterol4. Normal egg consumption decreases heart disease5. Cooked eggs denatures the protein making unusual compounds that are unhealthy

True Free-Range Egg Are far more nutritional than commercially raised eggs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture tested range free, omega3, and commercially raised eggs. Hens that run free on pasture contain1/3 less cholesterol1/4 less saturated fat2/3 more vitamin ATwo times more omega 3 fatty acidThree times more vitamin ESeven time more beta caroteneHuge amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin for the eyes

Do You Have Egg Allergies? Raw eggs are phenomenally inexpensive and incredible source of many nutrients. Many people are allergic to eggs. Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape and the distortion leads to the body not recognizing the chemical and thinking it is a foreign toxin or a non-food substance. The incidence actually disappears when they try them raw. So once again, mis-information gave you the wrong conclusion.

What About Salmonella? This serious infection in eggs comes from contamination. One in every 30,000 eggs is infected with salmonella in mass produced, commercially raised hens. These hens are unable to more in multi-layer itty-bitty metal cages. Sick chickens lay salmonella eggs. Range free organically fed, healthy chickens lay healthy eggs. In cage free birds the problem just doesn’t happen. When I visited China everywhere I went there were unrefrigerated cooked eggs sitting out, for days. Blew the socks off me. My foreign exchange student was totally amazed at my questions about Salmonella, she had never heard of it. Only greedy American’s with mass chicken productions have Salmonella.

What Is The Real Definition Of Free-Range Eggs? Don’t be fooled by the egg industry’s double-speak definitions,of what free-range really is. True free-range eggs are from hens that range freely outdoors on a pasture where they can forage for their natural diet, which includes seeds, green plants, insects, and worms. A hen that is let outside into a barren lot for a few minutes a day but is fed a diet of corn, soy, and cottonseed meals, plus synthetic additives, is NOT a free-range hen, and will not produce the same quality eggs as its foraging counterpart.

Avoid all omega-3 eggs, as they are actually LESS healthy for you. Typically, the animals are fed poor-quality sources of omega 3 fats that are already oxidized. In addition omega 3 eggs do not last anywhere near as long as non-omega 3 eggs. If you have to purchase your eggs from a commercial grocery store, I would advise getting free-range organic. Ideally, if at all possible it would be far preferable to purchase your eggs directly from your local hen house down the street. When you first buy homegrown range free eggs, you’re going to see a huge difference. My husband grew up on watery thin semi-yellow store eggs with clean white shells. Complaining when I started bringing them home, he wanted the watered down, thin shelled ones. He didn’t like the dirty green shells that were extra hard. The farm yolks were bright yellow and super thick, sticking to the bowl, hard to wash out. Expect to do some retraining to the untrained brain.

Don't BE CHICKENFresh raw egg yolks taste like vanilla. They should be eaten in my Liquid Light Smoothies in the "Rocky Style,” or combined with avocado or in a shake with your fruits and veggies. However, egg protein is easily damaged on a molecular level, even by mixing/blending, so at the end of mixing you quickly stir them in with the blender instead of whipping them wildly with all the other ingredients.

If you choose not to eat your eggs raw, cooking them soft-boiled would be your next best option. Scrambling your eggs is one of the worst ways to eat eggs as it actually oxidizes the cholesterol in the egg yolk. If you have high cholesterol this may actually be a problem for you, as the oxidized cholesterol may cause some damage in your body. BAM Don’t be chicken of eggs -- the truth will set you free.

APPLE SPICE RAW SMOOTHIEIn the fall when I have tons of apples this recipe is like eating pure sugar. It is just so sweet you almost can’t drink more than 4 ounces straight - but I indulge4 apples that are tangy and sour1/2 to 2 inches of fresh ginger1/2-teaspoon cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmeg1/2 teaspoon cardamomAn option to increase your protein would be to add 1 T protein powder, 1 egg or 1/2 cup of kefir.This recipe has 333 calories, 86 carbs, 15 grams of fiber.

Ginger also performs well as an antibiotic agent, a very potent strong antioxidant that seeks out and eliminates free radicals that would otherwise damage healthy cells, and as an anti-inflammatory with pain-relieving properties. As an anti-inflammatory, the herb has been used to help treat both arthritis, and everyday aches and pains. Ginger also benefits colds, flu, and allergies. Known primarily for its ability to alleviate nausea, motion sickness, indigestion, also other digestive problems, ginger has been found to out-perform anti-nausea drugs, and the good news is that it does it without the adverse side effects that accompany western medications! Recent studies, in addition, have found that the ginger root herb can lower blood cholesterol and reduce blood clotting. Ginger has a component similar to the salicylic acid of aspirin, accounting for its blood-thinning properties.

Have you ever seen a skinny pig? Farmers have known forever that if you give raw potatoes to hogs, they will not gain weight, but if you give them cooked potatoes, they gain weight easily. Why do farmers know how to fatten their stock but then think the same principle doesn't apply to themselves?

The Skinny Raw Red Reducer (formerly the Cooked Pig)This is done with the Champion juicer.Start with one apple and keep the pulp 1 handful of greens (juice these early so the veggie pulp has a chance to get it though the champion )1 cup pumpkin1/2 small raw sweet potato cut up2 carrots washed1 small spring beet1 six inch zucchiniToss all the pulp and divide into two glasses Stir in 1 t. of chia and 1/2 c of red berries to each smoothieadd 1 T. protein powder or raw eggs if you want, and whiz briefly

HomeworkBy now you should be getting the understanding that raw food is better for youthan cooked and that it helps you maintain a healthy weight. 1. Decrease your animal protein by one meal this week(Exchange it for nuts or seeds)2. Increase your fiber intake to 40 grams a day3. Get at least one (preferable 3)servings of vegetables every day4. Increase you water intake to 10 - eight ounce glasses of plain 100% water.

Do You Remember the Ningxia turtles?Until recently, Westerners had not heard of Ningxia Wolfberries. They come from Ningxia province like the super Ningxia turtles on TV a few ago. They were super strong good guys. These berries have a remarkable powerhouse of nutrients for health, many which we find deficient in the typical American diet. They come from the foothills of the Himalayas and have been used by Chinese healers for generations.

Analysis shows that this berry has:3 times the Vitamin A of a carrots; 10 times the vitamin C of an orange, 10 times more Thiamin than any other food. You don’t need a fiber supplement; Ningxia is a whopping 21 times more than barley and 15times more than oats.

This example above, uses flax and chia seeds, these are very important to promote healthy cell membranes and for supporting energy generation within your cells. Cell membranes are primarily made of fats, ( and so is your brain) and these fats come from the food you eat. Poor nutrition, such as low intakes of the health-promoting omega -3 fatty acids may result in brittle, broken (leaky) cell membranes that cannot function appropriately. Fats that support healthy cell membranes can be provided by cold-water fish oils (especially salmon), many nuts and seeds especially flax and chia.

Ningxia Fruit Has More Calcium Than Cottage Cheese These little red berries a rich source of amino acids and protein, with Ningxia having 110mg of calcium (more than spinach at 100 mg.) Amino superstar nitric oxide is important compound for improved relaxation of blood vessels thereby reducing risk of high blood pressure, supporting healthy cholesterol levels and promoting a healthy heart.

Nutritional studies show the low glycemic index of the berry helps in alleviating diabetic symptoms and improving blood sugar levels.

Will it help my eyes? One of the most well-known traditional properties of Goji berry fruit is its ability to improve vision. This has been documented for over fifteen centuries, and now modern scientific studies show that Ningxia berry has 10 times more Xeaxanthin than most green foods. It also contains another great antioxidant nutrient for eye health called Lutein, this helps with age related macular degeneration. Raw eggs contain alot of this but Ningxia has 14 times more, with 27,800 mg.

See The Light -- Do your take your vision for granted? Breakfast truly effects cataract and macular degeneration. That’s right I’m going to tell you if you eat a ton of animal food, your going to need glasses. Around the macular are fatty acids that are greatly affected by free radicals. But fortunately, these free radicals can be intercepted and stopped cold with antioxidant sponges found in fruits and vegetables -- they will intercept the bad guys. 88% of blindness is preventable. Studies, assessing diet and nutrients in the blood, show that 88% of blindness in macular degeneration can be prevented by eating the right food. The veins in your eyes are dinky. They allow one red blood cell in at a time. These veins become clogged just like the arteries in the heart. Decreasing your blood pressure and the cholesterol will allow more oxygen and nutrients into the eyes and they will function better.

Goji is being investigated as a food that is capable of reducing the incidence of cancer and also as a means of halting or reversing the growth of cancers. Another benefits of ningxia berries are they can help neutralize the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.

There are many different brands of wolfberries from China, most are not power packed and healthy as the Ningxia ones. You have to watch products from China. To make sure your getting your moneys worth, go to my website you can get them there at wholesale.

There is also a Ningxia food puree that is sold in the bottle. This is sold in glass bottle and has not been heated (pasteurized) or had all the oxygen sucked out and mishandled like most juices. It has Wolf berries, blueberries, pomegranate, red raspberries apricots and dark grapes in it. When 1 oz of this is added to any smoothie you super size it and you immediately feel the difference. As far as I know it is the only product like it anywhere. John and I drink 1 oz every morning faithfully. If you are interested in this e-mail me at hrevard@gmail.com.

When a family member has the flu and is vomiting. A wonderful way to start back to health is to mix a full 8 oz of water with 1 oz of Ningxia and 1/2 a lemon. It has all the nutrients and electrolytes you will need when you begin liquids.

Cabbage Outworks A $40 Pill Sauerkraut is easy and especially free if you have read my book Frugal Raw Feast. Sauerkraut is literally “sour cabbage” and since you have read Frugal Free Feast and now have FREE carloads of cabbage you’re going to be looking for ways to fix it. I usually make about 90 quarts a summer. We love sauerkraut with country style pork chop at dinner and John will eat kraut with his eggs instead of potatoes.

Raw homegrown and homemade Kraut has healthy pro-biotic bacteria. Store bought or cooked sauerkraut does not, the heat killed the good bugs. Cabbage is allowed to ferment in it own juice plus salt and some herb seasoning. The fermentation process makes it easy to digest and full of live pro-biotics.

Materials you will needa large crocka plate which will just fit inside the crocka jar filled with water to use as a weight to fin on top of the disha towel or cloth to fit over the crocka food processor to chop the hard fibrous vegetables like carrots, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips and of course FREE Cabbage into small pieces

Start by removing the large outer cabbage leave and save them for use on the very top layers, at the end. Cut cabbage and veggies into small pieces. The cabbage should be real firm and fresh not more than 48 hours old. Work with about 5 pounds at a time. Cut head in quarters and remove the tough inner core. You may use a champion juicer with the flat plate to crush some of the vegetables. This juice is what activates the fermentation.

With a hammer or potato, masher firmly hit the cabbage until some of the liquid starts seeping out. Pack it firmly and smash it after every layer with salt. For each 25 pounds alternate with ¾ cup of salt. I have a large 5 gallon crock. With a clean food wrapped in a plastic bag I stand on the small cabbage pieces and press it down tightly. Repeatedly pushing down every layer remove all the air from the veggies until it is very compact. Keep packing until you have a least 1/8 inch of juice on the top of the cabbage leaves.

Apply the huge outer cabbage leaves and the top with the plate on top of it all. Put the weighted jar on top of the plate and cover with a towel. Taste is the main way to know if the batch is ready.

Store at 70 to 75 degrees F. while fermenting. At this point, many books differ. On real hot days it can only take four days. Some books say at the temperatures of 75 degrees it will take 1 to 4 weeks. At 60 to 65 degrees in Colorado blizzard, it will take 2 to 6 weeks, at 60 degrees or less it will not ferment. You will have to experiment. Two years ago, our summer was very hot, I stored the crock up in my pantry, and the kraut became soft and sour in 3 weeks. Last year I stored it in the basement and it was ready in two weeks. If the fermentation goes to long it will have a spoiled taste. Good sauerkraut will have a zingy crisp taste.

Remove the huge top cabbage leaves and toss. Transfer kraut to a glass container in the refrigerator. Once you put it into the frig, it will slow the fermentation and can be stored for several months.

You will have to check the fermenting process several times a week. In the summer, also watch for little flies, they lay their eggs on the side of the crock – so keep that clean and wiped down. While doing this remove the scum that also forms. This scum does not look appetizing and it grayish white and foamy. Your job is just to remove it, don’t analyze it cuz it is gross. The fermentation is complete when the bubble stop or it tastes zippy and sour.

Chinese Proverb – He who takes medicine and neglects his diet wastes the skill of the physician and his $$$Raw Liquid Light Proverb – He who takes medicine and neglects living light food wastes his money. Later in this chapter, I am going to show you other easy, yummy smoothies to fix your problems.

Carbs Are the MOST Important Thing In Your Diet I bet you didn't ever expect to hear that from me. I can teach you this because all carbs are not created equal. Carbs found in thier natural form contain most of the essential nutrients and specialized chemical that keep you healthy and give you energy. But processed and refined carbs slow down your metabolism and contribute to every major disease associated with aging, including diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and cancer. If I say the word carb, you think bread and white flour, white sugar and candy. These carbs are unhealthy and are the lest important thing in your diet. Ever hear that carbs are empty calories? What are they empty of? There are empty of vitamins, mineral and phytonutrients. The important carbs are vegetables and fruits that can be considered carbs. If you want to be healthy you must eat healthy carbs because they contain, enzymes, vitamins, and phytonutients. Healthy carb vegetables have an abundance of obesity-fighty chemicals, vitamins, and mineral that can accelerate your metabolism (increasing energy) and provide plenty of fiber that will slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream. The key to eating carbs is to eat plants and avoid empty processed white flours and sugar foods.Healthy Carbs = Phytonutients Did you know that if these are missing from your diet, the consequences can be quite weighty? No pun intended of course! First of all, let's discuss what phytonutrients are. They are vibrantly colored plants and foods carrying bioactive chemical compounds proven to be beneficial to our health and well-being. The antioxidants found in these plants protects the cells in our body, from the damaging effects of oxidation (the little unprotected reactors that produce energy for each cell in your body.) These phytonutrients have also been proven to be a powerful blow to fat. In the journal of Nutrition Research, they discuss a study that included women eating raw fruits and vegetables, verses another set of women, who ate health food bars. The results were pretty astounding. On an average, the women who ate the raw fruits and vegetables (filled with phytonutrients) lost 22% more fat than the group who ate health food bars.How do the phytonutrients in pumpkin, beets, yams, squash, nuts and seeds, work? 1) They fight infections in the body that lead to inflammation, which in turn leads to fat storage. 2) They have enzymes that detoxify the body and strengthen the liver. 3) They provide a power boost to the thyroid and adrenal glands. 4) They empower the genes that turn off fat storage, and promote fat burn to occur instead. 5) They trigger the body's internal mechanism to eat less, yet have the feeling of being full. 6) They create vital sources of nutrients which fight cancer cells 7) They strengthen red blood cellsBegin filling your smoothies with the above foods and watch the weight disappear. Not only will you experience predominate weight loss ... you'll also feel energized, experience clarity in your thoughts, manage stress much easier, and feel an overall feeling of wellness in your body. Studies have also shown that people who have incorporated phytonutirnets into their diets have also seen improvements in glucose control. Unstable molecules found around the bodies little nuclear reactors are controlled by these phytonutients. They inhibit the oxidation of LDL choleterol in the blood and since oxidized LDL cholesterol is much more likely to form artery blocking plaque, preventing oxidation is important -- if not more important than lowering the amount of LDL cholesterol and decreasing high blood pressure. This all sound like significant reductions for heart health.

PUMPKIN PIE HIGH RAW SMOOTHIEI use fresh pumpkin from my garden. Hacking the guy with a huge sharp knife my husband opens him up, and chops him into about 20 pieces. Then I cut the thick outer skin off all of the pumpkin and cut him into inch piece that will go thought my juicer without problems. I keep him in a large tupperware and a good size pumpkin will last about four days or eight shakes The bright orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant, phytonutrient, beta-carotene that converts carotenoids into vitamin A protecting the body from cancer, aging, and heart disease.

2 cups fresh pumpkin pieces One-inch fresh ginger4 fresh carrots washed1/8 fresh sliced cabbage1 appleRun the above though the juicer and pour the into 20 oz drinking glassesI save the apple pulp and give it to my Dogs for breakfast along with their raw meat or egg. I discard the rest of the pulp in the compost pile.Back to the raw smoothie, in the 20 oz glass divide the rest of the ingredients 1 teaspoon cinnamon or 4 drops cinnamon essential oils1 teaspoon nutmeg or 4 drops nutmeg essential oils2 raw eggs, one for each glassFor a little pucker try adding 1/2 cup of raw cranberries also.Could You Have A Short Circuit? Food metabolism is very much like the progression of a boat going though a series of locks in a river. At each point, a key is used to allow the boat to go to the next level. Without the key (or in this case the enzyme) nothing happens. Without enzyme reaction in your body, nothing happens. Your brain doesn’t function fast, your bones hurt, organs are not up to par and your food rots, giving you gas. You can’t produce energy without enzymes. Raw veggies and fruits maintain your body’s balance. Jump Start Digestion Here comes a forkful of food. A nice raw carrot. Your eyes and nose have checked out the situation and in response, your mouth begins to water. Saliva and enzymes juices are secreted and ready to mix with the food. The tongue starts the food down the 30 foot enclosed assembly line. Any carrot comes with his own enzymes. It takes care of its own digestion, metabolizing and assimilation. Now imagine that same carrot stir-fried or cooked in a delicious carrot cake. The body must produce the enzymes to get the nutrients out of it. It takes twice as much work to get half as much yield. Without adequate digestion, good health is impossible. The best dietary intake will have little value without enzymes. Can You Chew Your Way To Better Health Chewing causes an involuntary secretion of pancreatic fluids, intestinal secretions, and bile, all needed to break up the food and release energy. The longer you chew your food the longer the enzymes in your mouth can work on that food, breaking up the starches even before they are swallowed. Chewing is critical for digestion of all food because enzymes only act on the surface of the food particles. The more time spent chewing the more the food is broken down and the more surface area the enzymes can get to. Here is the analogy. Imagine putting an orange in the blender. Would it be able to chop it up very well? Of course not. However, put little pieces into the blender and you will have orange puree in no time. You’ve Got Two Tummy’s? Contrary to the myth that your stomach is simply one big round container, you have two tummy parts. Your tummy is shaped like a “C” facing backwards. There is the upper part of the “C” which retains food for 30 to 60 minutes, with a PH of 5. In a chicken, this is called a crop and in a cow, it’s the rumen. 60% of your carbs and 30% of your proteins are digested here. If in the top there are no enzymes and no churning, how does the food get digested? When raw liquid light food comes in, they bring their own built in raw liquid light enzymes and there is a lot of active digestion. When lots of fresh raw food is eaten, you can feel the difference. When cooked food is eaten – there is no action and everything just sits there rotting. When food is consistently void of enzymes, this causes the pancreas and endocrine glands such as the adrenals and pituitary to have to overwork.

Lower “C “ Gravity moves the food around the corner of the “C” into the holding lower chamber that if full of hydrochloric acid. Ptoteolytic enzymes break down protein, Lipolytic enzymes breakdown triglycerides, cholesterol, fats, and oils. Amylolytic enzymes or amylase decomposes carbohydrates, such as sugar, the lactose from milk, the sugars from fruits, and starches. As it enters the intestines, secretions causes the pancreas to produce a thick watery juice that has sodium bicarbonate, which helps, neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the food (chyme.) This new PH helps all the food digestive enzymes work twice as well and the food is absorbed into the blood stream.

Homeworkl. The next time you have a smoothie try chewing it. Also when your at thetable for dinner be aware of how many times you chew a mouthful. Without telling, watch your family and how long they chew. Be aware of how long a meal takes to eat. Remember your tummy doesn't know that it is no longer hungery until the food has been there at least 10 minutes.2. Try juicing cabbage you will find that it is sweet - just toss the pulp3. If you have never eaten Kraut -- give it a try.
